Hi all,

So I went to upgrade the OIIO version in vcpkg (which makes windows support
quite trivial), and in doing so found that find_package didn't work by
default because OIIO only provides Find-module CMake packages. I put
together some changes that got Config-file packages supported by OIIO,
though I'm not certain it was the correct way as I'm no CMake expert.

The vcpkg team are happy to take an update, but for this one they wanted me
to find out about OIIO interest in supporting Config-file packages (which
are apparently generally superior/more CMakey than Find-packages). As if
there isn't interest they'd like me to rename it to unofficial.

I also provided them feedback that their package name was as odds with the
project as they had openimageio instead of OpenImageIO, which I understood
to be the official package and binary naming so they wanted me to clarify
that.

The two package types don't seem to be mutually exclusive and I'm happy to
do the work to figure out what is proper if there is interest in a pull
request.

Any thoughts? I feel like this would be worthwhile because of how much
easier it makes working with OpenImageIO on windows and can't foresee any
negative impact on other platforms.

Cheers,

Alan
